In Yaoundé, the Cathedral of Santa Maria is the center of Marian devotion in Cameroon. The Cameroonian faithful venerate the Virgin of Fatima with processions and songs in ewondo language.
Tradition tells that during colonization, the Catholic Cameroonians took refuge in the Marian faith to resist oppression. The Virgin of Fatima was her shield and her hope.
Fatima is the mother who gives us strength to resist injustice.
